Happy New Year’s Eve! Got plans? Are you planning to usher it all in in style, or are you just planning to maybe sleep late tomorrow? Either way, enjoy and be safe. And here’s to a smashing 2010. Know who else is getting ready for 2010? Saturday Night Live. They’ve already announced their first two hosts and they’re doozies: how about kicking off 2010 with NBA star Charles Barkley & musical guest Alicia Keys, and with Avatar’s Sigourney Weaver& the Ting Tings sing singing along. Not too shabby. And holy smokes you all had a lot to say about Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga in yesterday’s poll …some wondered why I hadn’t included Taylor Swift as she’s had such a phenomenal year (nor does anyone dispute that) — but that might have made our poll just a tad too predictable, no? As always, thanks for your feedback. In other news, we are not going to talk about Charlie Sheen heading back to work after all that dramarama. In the good news department (or at least news that’s a far cry from icky & tawdry marital strife headlines) Peter Jackson, the man who brought us LOTR and The Lovely Bones has been made a knight. So congratulations, (Sir) Peter. And did we mention that the People’s Choice Awards are less than a week away? It’s going to be quite an evening, with some spectacular guests on hand, so get ready to be entertained (and yours truly will be blogging live from the Awards again, so there’s that). But for now, and for the purposes of today’s poll, let’s focus on New Year’s Eve. Love it or hate it, it’s one of those traditions that’s loaded with meaning and promise (or at least parties and champagne). And when we think of New Year’s, certainly a few traditions– some recent, others quite longstanding — invariably come to mind. With that, voice your choice in today’s featured poll and let us know which of these three people truly embodies the spirit of New Year’s for you…

Hello. This is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here.

I hate Ryan Seacrest. He is egotistical and controlling. I will never watch AI again after Adam lost and the only time I will ever watch again is when he is going to be a guest. I may have quit watching anyway with the talentless, boring Ryan at the helm.

Without doubt au hesitations here at his first New Yer’s celebration an superbe performance at Gridlock along with starlett Pamela multitalented artiste Adam Lambert an like Elvis is thinq has most diverse an vast array of fans from children al way to grandparentes.His estraordinaire vocal ranges to sing any music genre has been ever since being on last yer’s American Idol..Where all judges an even Simon agreed thet he’d be here for many years to come..an feel will be legendary..So gather yu know my vote is for Adam..a proud Adam fan (glambs gal of one of his many fan clubs)Blessings an luv to all an monsieur Lambert!!xoxo

As long as I can remember, Dick Clark has been part of celebrating New Years Eve. I think Ryan Seacrest does a good job and will do fine taking over the crown, and just as many of us never saw Guy do New Years Eve and only remember Dick Clark, it will be noone seeing or remembering Dick Clark and growing up with Ryan Seacrest doing New Years Eve and of course American Idol.

I chuckled at this poll. Unfair sort of. I’m 76 and I remember Guy Lombardo, Love Dick Clark and am quickly becoming a fan of Ryan Seacrest. Actually all three are New Year’s Eve. Probably the new year’s baby should win.
Thanks. Love to all.
